<Configuration example of information processing device>
Next, a configuration example of the information processing device 10 will be described. The information processing device 10 includes a processing unit 11, an acquisition unit 12, a detection unit 13, a determination unit 14, and a storage unit 15. The processing unit 11, the acquisition unit 12, the detection unit 13, the determination unit 14, and the storage unit 15 may be software or modules whose processing is executed by the processor executing a program stored in the memory. Further, the processing unit 11, the acquisition unit 12, the detection unit 13, the determination unit 14, and the storage unit 15 may be hardware such as a circuit or a chip.

The processing unit 11 executes a game-related process based on the game program 151 stored in the storage unit 15. The processing unit 11 generates a game scenario at predetermined time intervals based on the game program 151, and transmits the game scenario to the communication terminal 20. The processing unit 11 is at least one in the game space executed by the communication terminal 20 based on the operation information received from the communication terminal 20 by the acquisition unit 12 described later and the operation information received from another communication terminal (not shown). Determine the position information and behavior information of one object. The processing unit 11 transmits the determined position information and action information to the communication terminal 20.

The processing unit 11 generates output sound information including identification information of the output sound output from the communication terminal 20 based on the position information and the action information of each object in the game space executed by the communication terminal 20. The processing unit 11 stores the generated output sound information in the storage unit 15.

The output sound information includes object identification information of each object in the game, identification information for identifying output sound data related to each object, and the like as identification information of the output sound to be output. Further, the output sound information includes an output start time at which the output sound of the output sound data corresponding to the output sound identification information is output, and an output end time at which the output sound of the output sound data is output. Further, the output sound information includes the volume of the output sound output from the communication terminal 20, the relative distance between the reference position in the game space and the position of each object in the game space, and the output sound information of each object with respect to the reference position in the game space. Including direction. The reference position is, for example, the position of the player character in the game space, but may be an arbitrarily set position.

The processing unit 11 determines the output sound output from the communication terminal 20 at each time based on the position information and the action information of each object in the game space, and generates the output sound information. The processing unit 11 calculates the relative distance and direction included in the output sound information based on the position information and the action information of each object. Further, the processing unit 11 calculates the volume included in the output sound information based on the position information of each object, the action information, and a plurality of parameters related to the output sound.

The processing unit 11 may acquire the volume of the output sound output from the communication terminal 20 from the communication terminal 20. Alternatively, the output sound output from the communication terminal 20 is generated by generating sound data in which each output sound output by the communication terminal 20 is recorded, and the processing unit 11 acquires and analyzes the sound data from the communication terminal 20. You may calculate the volume of. Further, the communication terminal 20 may generate the output sound information, and the processing unit 11 or the acquisition unit 12 may acquire the output sound information from the communication terminal 20.

The acquisition unit 12 receives the operation information input to the communication terminal 20 from the communication terminal 20 and acquires the operation information.
The detection unit 13 detects a predetermined operation event in the game space displayed by the communication terminal 20 based on the operation of the user U1. The operation event means that the state of the display displaying the game space including the operation of the player character in the game space displayed on the communication terminal 20 changes based on the operation of the user U1, for example, for an event. This is the state change set in the judgment table. The detection unit 13 detects an operation event based on the acquired operation information and the event determination table, and determines a predetermined operation event based on the determination of whether or not the detected operation event is a predetermined operation event. Is detected. The predetermined operation event is an operation event that leads to improvement of the game skill, and is called an evaluation target event.

Here, the event determination table will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of an event determination table. The event determination table is a table for managing a plurality of operation events and determining whether each operation event is an evaluation target event. The event determination table is stored in the storage unit 15.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the event determination table, an operation event and an evaluation target event are associated with each other.
An event in the game space generated by the operation of the user U1 is set as the operation event.
Information for determining whether or not the operation event is an evaluation target event is set in the evaluation target event. When "○" is set in the evaluation target event, it means that it is an evaluation target event, and when "x" is set in the evaluation target event, it means that it is not an evaluation target event.

Based on the operation information, the detection unit 13 specifies, for example, the action content taken by the player character in the game space of the communication terminal 20. The detection unit 13 determines whether the action content of the player character is the action content set in the operation event of the event determination table. When the action content of the player character is set to the operation event of the event determination table, the detection unit 13 confirms the evaluation target event of the event determination table, and whether or not the action content of the player character is the evaluation target event. Is determined. When the detection unit 13 determines that the action content of the player character is an evaluation target event, the detection unit 13 detects that the evaluation target event has occurred.

When the evaluation target event is detected, the detection unit 13 generates event information including the event occurrence time, the event end time, the operation event, and the state of the player character before and after the evaluation target event. For example, when the operation event is "change weapon", "possess a knife" is set as the state before the event, and "possess a firearm" after the event. Is set. The detection unit 13 stores the event information in the storage unit 15.

The communication terminal 20 may hold the operation event set in the event determination table, detect the operation event based on the operation information input to the communication terminal 20, and generate the event information. Even if the detection unit 13 acquires event information from the communication terminal 20 as data in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format and detects the event to be evaluated based on the acquired event information and the event determination table, for example. good. The detection unit 13 may store the event information of the evaluation target event in the storage unit 15.

Returning to FIG. 1, the determination unit 14 will be described. The determination unit 14 extracts the output sound information of the output sound output from the communication terminal 20 from the output sound information during the detection period before the event occurrence time. The determination unit 14 extracts the output sound information including the detection period between the output start time and the output end time of the output sound information. Based on the extracted output sound information, the determination unit 14 determines the output sound to which the user U1 performs an operation corresponding to the evaluation target event. Since the output sound obtained by causing the user U1 to perform an operation corresponding to the event to be evaluated is the output sound that the user U1 has reacted to, it may be referred to as a reaction sound. The output sound obtained by causing the user U1 to perform an operation corresponding to the evaluation target event may be referred to as an output sound having a causal relationship between the operation of the user U1 and the evaluation target event.

The detection period is the period from the event occurrence time to a predetermined time before. The detection period is not limited to the event occurrence time, and may be a period from the time before or after the event occurrence time to the predetermined time. The length of the detection period may be, for example, the period during which one game scenario is executed. Alternatively, the length of the detection period may be the average time required for each of the plurality of users to perform an operation in response to a certain sound. Alternatively, in order to change the length of the detection period according to the proficiency level of the user UI, the time required for the user UI to perform an operation in response to a certain sound is the most recent multiple times (for example, 5 times). It may be the average time. Alternatively, the length of the detection period may be a fixed time (for example, 3 seconds).

The determination unit 14 performs an operation corresponding to the evaluation target event to the user U1 based on the identification information of the output sound related to the object displayed by the communication terminal 20 and the volume of the output sound output from the communication terminal 20. Determine the output sound to be made. Specifically, the determination unit 14 determines the reaction sound based on the volume included in the extracted output sound information.

Here, the determination process of the determination unit 14 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a determination process. The horizontal axis is an axis indicating the time, and the more to the right, the more the time has passed. The vertical axis indicates the volume of the output sound output from the communication terminal 20, and the lower the volume, the louder the volume. The block shown in FIG. 3 illustrates the relationship between the time when the output sound is output and the volume of the output sound.

The output sounds S (A) to S (E) are output sounds output to the communication terminal 20. The output sound S (A) is, for example, the breathing sound of the enemy character, the output sound S (B) is, for example, the moving sound of the ally character, and the output sound S (C) is, for example, the moving sound of the ally character. It's a sound. Further, the output sound S (D) is, for example, the moving sound of the enemy character, and the output sound S (E) is, for example, the moving sound of the enemy character.

When the detection unit 13 detects the event to be evaluated, the determination unit 14 outputs the output sound information from the communication terminal 20 during the detection period TF from the time T (EA), which is the event occurrence time, to a predetermined time before. Extract sound information. The determination unit 14 acquires the output start time, the output end time, and the volume based on the extracted output sound information. FIG. 3 illustrates the output sounds S (A) to S (E) based on the acquired output start time, output end time, and volume.

The determination unit 14 identifies the output sound having the highest volume at the output start time of each output sound in the detection period TF, and determines the specified output sound as the reaction sound. In FIG. 3, in the detection period TF, the output sound having the highest volume at the output start time of each output sound is S (A). Therefore, the determination unit 14 determines the breath sounds of the enemy character as the reaction sounds.

It is also assumed that the determination unit 14 has a plurality of output sounds having the highest volume at the output start time of the output sounds output within the detection period TF. Therefore, when there are a plurality of output sounds having the highest volume at the output start time of the output sounds output within the detection period TF, the determination unit 14 determines based on the direction with respect to the reference position included in the extracted output sound information. Determine the reaction sound. Specifically, the determination unit 14 determines the output sound in which the direction of the specified plurality of output sounds is a predetermined direction as the reaction sound. When the reference position is, for example, the position of the player character in the game space, the predetermined direction may be the direction opposite to the face direction or the traveling direction of the player character, the same direction, or an arbitrarily set direction. good. Alternatively, the predetermined direction may be a direction in which the player character is more likely to be endangered, for example, a blind spot.

In FIG. 3, the volume of each output sound is shown to be constant regardless of the time, but it is assumed that the volume may fluctuate depending on the time. Therefore, the determination unit 14 may determine the reaction sound for each output sound based on the volume when the output sound becomes loudest between the output start time and the output end time. Alternatively, the determination unit 14 may determine the reaction sound for each output sound based on the average value or the median value of the volume between the output start time and the output end time. Alternatively, the determination unit 14 may determine the reaction sound for each output sound based on the amount of fluctuation in the volume between the output start time and the output end time. Alternatively, the determination unit 14 may determine the reaction sound based on the volume at the output start time or the volume at the output end time.

Returning to FIG. 1, the storage unit 15 will be described. The storage unit 15 stores various information necessary for game processing, including the game program 151. The storage unit 15 stores the event determination table. The storage unit 15 stores event information and output sound information.

<Operation example of information processing device>

The acquisition unit 12 acquires the operation information from the communication terminal 20 (step S1). The acquisition unit 12 receives the operation information input to the communication terminal 20 from the communication terminal 20 and acquires the operation information.

The processing unit 11 generates output sound information (step S2). The processing unit 11 generates output sound information of the output sound output from the communication terminal 20 based on the position information and action information of each object in the game space executed by the communication terminal 20.

The detection unit 13 detects an operation event (step S3). The detection unit 13 detects a predetermined operation event in the game executed on the communication terminal 20 based on the acquired operation information and the event determination table.

The detection unit 13 determines whether the detected operation event is an evaluation target event (step S4). The detection unit 13 determines whether or not the detected operation event is an evaluation target event by using the event determination table.

When the operation event is an evaluation target event (YES in step S4), the determination unit 14 extracts the output sound information in the detection period from the output sound information (step S5). When the detection unit 13 detects the evaluation target event, the detection unit 13 generates event information. The determination unit 14 extracts the output sound information including the detection period between the output start time and the output end time of the output sound information.

On the other hand, when the operation event is not the evaluation target event (NO in step S4), the process returns to step S1 and the information processing apparatus 10 executes the processes after step S1.

In step S6, the determination unit 14 determines the reaction sound based on the volume of the extracted output sound information (step S6). The determination unit 14 identifies the output sound having the highest volume at the output start time of each output sound in the detection period, and determines the specified output sound as the reaction sound.

When it is determined whether or not there are a plurality of determined reaction sounds (step S7) and there are a plurality of determined reaction sounds (YES in step S7), the determination unit 14 reacts based on the direction included in the output sound information. The sound is determined (step S8). When there are a plurality of output sounds having the highest volume at the output start time of the output sound output within the detection period, the determination unit 14 determines the reference position associated with the specified output sound from the extracted output sound information. Get the direction for. The determination unit 14 determines the output sound whose acquired direction is a predetermined direction as the reaction sound.

On the other hand, when there are no plurality of determined reaction sounds (NO in step S7), the information processing apparatus 10 does not execute step S8 and ends the process.

As described above, the detection unit 13 detects the evaluation target event among the operation events in the game space which is the virtual space. Output in which the determination unit 14 causes the user U1 to perform an operation related to the evaluation target event based on the output sound information of the output sound output from the communication terminal 20 displaying the game during the detection period before the event occurrence time. Determine the sound.

In this way, by using the information processing device 10, it is possible to grasp what kind of output sound the user responds to when performing the operation. By confirming the output sound that the user with high game skill has reacted to, each user can perform training conscious of the output sound to be reacted and improve the operation skill. Further, since each user can perform training conscious of the output sound to be noted by grasping the output sound determined by the information processing device 10, the operation skill can be improved. Therefore, according to the information processing device 10 according to the first embodiment, the operation skill of the user can be improved.

(Modification example 1)
In the first embodiment described above, the determination unit 14 determines the reaction sound based on the volume included in the output sound information, but the determination unit 14 determines the reaction sound based on the relative distance included in the output sound information. May be determined. The determination unit 14 extracts the output sound information of the output sound output from the communication terminal 20 during the detection period from the output sound information. The determination unit 14 determines the output sound output by the communication terminal 20 as the sound of the object having the shortest relative distance included in the extracted output sound information as the reaction sound. When there are a plurality of determined reaction sounds based on the relative distance, the determination unit 14 determines the reaction sound based on the direction included in the output sound information. Even in this way, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained. Here, the modification 1 may be combined with the first embodiment. For example, when there are a plurality of determined reaction sounds based on the relative distance, the determination unit 14 may determine the reaction sound based on the volume included in the output sound information. Alternatively, when there are a plurality of determined reaction sounds based on the volume, the determination unit 14 may determine the reaction sound based on the relative distance included in the output sound information.

(Modification 2)

The priority management table is a table that manages the priority of each output sound output from the communication terminal 20 in relation to each object in the game arranged in the game space. The output sound, sound source attribute, and priority are set in the priority management table.

As the output sound, each output sound that is arranged in the game space, is related to each object in the game, and is output from the communication terminal 20 is set. The output sound is set, for example, by the output sound identification information that identifies the output sound data.
Objects to be placed in the game space related to each output sound set in the output sound of the priority management table are set in the sound source attribute. The object may be referred to as a virtual sound source because it is considered to be a sound source in the game space that virtually outputs the output sound of the priority management table.
In the priority, the priority of each output sound set in the output sound of the priority management table is set. The priority is determined based on, for example, the play content of a player with high game skill. The priority may be determined based on historical information such as the number of times the reaction sound is determined by the determination unit 14 played by a player with high game skill, for example.

The determination unit 14 extracts the output sound information of the output sound output from the communication terminal 20 during the detection period from the output sound information. The determination unit 14 acquires the output sound identification information included in the extracted output sound information. The determination unit 14 searches the priority management table using the acquired output sound identification information as a condition (key), and acquires the priority associated with the acquired output sound identification information. The determination unit 14 determines the acquired output sound having the highest priority as the reaction sound. When there are a plurality of determined reaction sounds based on the priority of the output sound, the determination unit 14 determines the reaction sound based on the direction included in the output sound information. Even in this way, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, when the priority is determined based on the play of a player with high game skill, a more appropriate reaction sound can be grasped, so that the skill can be further improved. Here, the modification 2 and the embodiment 1 and / or the modification 1 may be combined by defining the determination order, respectively.

<Operation example of information processing device>
Next, an operation example of the information processing apparatus 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. 7 and 8 are diagrams for explaining an operation example of the information processing apparatus according to the second embodiment.

First, FIG. 7 will be described. FIG. 7 shows between the communication terminals 20_1 and 20_2 and the information processing device 30 until the communication terminals 20_1 and 20_2 execute the game in possession mode, a certain game scenario is generated, and the next game scenario is generated. It is a sequence diagram which shows the operation example. Since the user U2 having the communication terminal 20_2 is a teacher player, it is described that the operation corresponding to the evaluation target event is executed before the user U1 having the communication terminal 20_1.

The processing unit 31 of the information processing device 30 generates a game scenario (step S11) and transmits it to the communication terminals 20_1 and 20_2 (step S12). The processing unit 31 acquires information about the second game space from the communication terminal 20_1 and transmits it to the communication terminal 20_2. The communication terminal 20_2 replaces the game space displayed by its own device with a second game space so that the game situations played by the user U1 and the user U2 match.

The acquisition unit 12 of the information processing device 30 acquires the operation information input to the communication terminals 20_1 and 20_2 from the communication terminals 20_1 and 20_2 (step S13). Note that step S13 is repeatedly executed periodically or aperiodically.

The information processing device 30 detects the evaluation target event in the first game space and determines the reaction sound (step S14). The detection unit 33 detects the event to be evaluated by using the operation information and the event determination table, and generates event information. The determination unit 14 extracts the output sound information of the detection period from the output sound information. The determination unit 14 determines the reaction sound based on the extracted output sound information. The processing unit 31 acquires the event occurrence time in the first game space from the detection unit 33.

The information processing device 30 detects the evaluation target event in the second game space and determines the reaction sound (step S15). The information processing device 30 detects the event to be evaluated and determines the reaction sound in the same manner as in step S14. The processing unit 31 acquires the event occurrence time in the second game space from the detection unit 33.

The processing unit 31 compares the event occurrence times in the first game space and the second game space, and determines whether the event occurrence time is earlier in the first game space than in the second game space (step S16). The processing unit 31 uses the event occurrence time in the first game space and the second game space to determine whether or not the evaluation target event is detected in the second game space after the evaluation target event is detected in the first game space. Is determined.

When the event occurrence time is earlier in the first game space than in the second game space (YES in step S16), the information processing device 30 executes step S17 and subsequent steps.
On the other hand, when the event occurrence time is not earlier in the first game space than in the second game space (NO in step S16), the information processing device 30 skips steps S17 to S21 and in step S11. End the process for the generated game scenario.

The processing unit 31 transmits a volume adjustment instruction to the communication terminal 20_1 (step S17). The processing unit 31 transmits a volume adjustment instruction for adjusting the volume of the reaction sound corresponding to the evaluation target event detected in steps S14 and S15 to the communication terminal 20_1. The processing unit 31 transmits the volume adjustment instruction to the communication terminal 20_1 to cause the communication terminal 20_1 to adjust the volume of the reaction sound. Upon receiving the volume adjustment instruction, the communication terminal 20_1 controls to increase the volume of the reaction sound determined in steps S14 and S15.

The processing unit 31 transmits the event content notification to the communication terminal 20_1 (step S18). The processing unit 31 includes the content of the evaluation target event of the communication terminal 20_2 in the event content notification and transmits the content to the communication terminal 20_1. Note that step S18 may be executed after step S17 or before step S17.

The detection unit 33 counts the number of delays (step S19). The detection unit 33 increments the number of delays of the evaluation target event detected in steps S14 and S15 by one. It should be noted that steps S19 to S21 may be executed before step S17 or step S18, or may be executed in parallel with steps S17 and S18.

The processing unit 31 determines whether the number of delays is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (step S20). The processing unit 31 acquires the number of delays from the detection unit 33, and determines whether the number of delays of the evaluation target event detected in steps S14 and S15 is equal to or greater than a predetermined number.

When the number of delays is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (YES in step S20), the processing unit 31 transmits a delay notification to the communication terminal 20_1 (step S21). The processing unit 31 transmits a delay notification indicating that the evaluation target event having a predetermined number or more is delayed in the second game space rather than the first game space to the communication terminal 20_1. The processing unit 31 highlights the evaluation target event in the second game space, and transmits to the communication terminal 20_1 including the execution of at least one of the vibrations of the vibrator included in the communication terminal 20_1 in the delay notification. The communication terminal 20_1 executes the control included in the delay notification in response to the delay notification.

On the other hand, when the number of delays is not more than a predetermined number (NO in step S20), the information processing device 30 skips step S21 and ends the process for the game scenario generated in step S11 described above.
When the information processing device 30 executes up to step S21, it generates a new game scenario and repeatedly executes steps S11 to S21 until the game ends.

As shown in FIG. 8, the evaluation target events 1 and 2 are detected in the first game space by the time the evaluation target event 1 is detected in the second game space. In this way, it is assumed that the number of evaluation-targeted events of the teacher player is larger than the number of evaluation-targeted events of the student player.

Based on the sequence diagram of FIG. 7, in steps S17 and S18, the processing unit 31 transmits a volume adjustment instruction for the evaluation target event 1 and an event content notification to the communication terminal 20_1. However, as shown in FIG. 8, it is assumed that the teacher player performs an operation corresponding to a plurality of evaluation target events before the student player performs an operation corresponding to the evaluation target event 1. Therefore, in steps S17 and S18 of FIG. 7, the processing unit 31 adds the volume of the evaluation target event detected in steps S14 and S15 and the volume of other evaluation target events detected in the first game space by step S15. Adjustment instructions and event content notifications may be sent.

The information processing device 30 determines the reaction sound corresponding to the evaluation target event in the first game space and the second game space, as in the first embodiment. Since the user U1 can perform training based on the determined reaction sound, the operation skill can be improved. Further, the user U1 can further perform training for grasping the difference from his / her own operation skill by using the reaction sound determined for the user U2. Therefore, according to the information processing device 30 according to the second embodiment, the operation skill of the user can be improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, the possession mode is introduced, and the play contents of the teacher player and the play contents of the student player are compared. When the event occurrence time of the evaluation target event is later than that of the teacher player, the information processing device 30 notifies the student player of the content of the evaluation target event of the teacher player. Therefore, the student player can clearly grasp the difference from the teacher player and can imitate the play content of the teacher player.

Further, when the event occurrence time of the evaluation target event is later than that of the teacher player, the information processing device 30 increases the volume of the reaction sound corresponding to the evaluation target event in the second game space. Therefore, the student player can grasp the reaction sound based on the volume and immediately perform an appropriate operation.

Further, the information processing apparatus 30 notifies the communication terminal 20_1 that the evaluation target event has been delayed for the evaluation target event whose number of delays is a predetermined number or more. Therefore, the student player can grasp the difference in the operation contents of the teacher player and can grasp the operation skill to be improved. Therefore, according to the information processing device 30 according to the second embodiment, the operation skill of the user can be improved.
